Would have been fine with a target man to play with; but the central striker was meant to help the rest of the team play.

Hernandez doesn't really do that.

Comes back to OP's question this I think.

Some people are thinking rightly or wrongly - we should have signed someone capable of getting 20 in the league.

Others are thinking - we should have signed someone we could build a system around.

Anyone who says chicharito is misunderstanding the situation and our current plight imo.

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.

Chicarito - not to be our main man instead of the currently non-existent target man, purely because he was a decent goalscorer going on the cheap and it would have done us no harm to add him to our current options!

Sure we'd still need the player we really wanted but doesn't Calvert-Lewin, Hernández, Ramírez and Rooney read better as a squad list than Calvert-Lewin, Ramírez and Rooney?

Yeah but it's almost not worth talking about - wouldn't almost any top level player improve the line up, especially as it is now.

Plus a notoriously fucking shite player who has a history of scoring *some* goals when it's on the plate for him, no I don't think he would particularly help at the minute.

Just poor all round really. We spent about £70m on two players who play in the same position as well as paying Rooney top whack to play there as well, which in my opinion will stunt Davies' growth as I think he plays better a little further forward. All the while leaving us nothing up top and threadbare at the back with two central defenders who are past it and no reserve left back.

No wins in the next two games and the Goodison boo boys will be out by the time Bournemouth come if we start that match slow as well.
